I really, really hope they find them, dead or alive. At least there would be some closure. Just going missing all this time is like a splinter that won't heal, you know?

Now this is just ridiculous. Why do they have to use such crappy plugins like Silverlight (which MS themselves are abandoning)? Why do they care how we browse their service and watch their videos, so long as we do so legally? Just make it HTML5 or some other open standard and let everyone watch without jumping through insane hoops or downloading obsolete (and potentially vulnerable) plugins.

Craig, even. D'oh!

I assume the next in line will be Crag Mundie.

Agreed. The advertising industry has become a cancer; from benign to malignant.

Another one moves to free software.

Are we surprised? No. You can't believe a word these people say.

There are still _some_ innovators left, but none of which match Jobs.

Since Jobs' death, they've been riding on the coattails of his work. Once his ideas run out, they'll be done-for. Unless Woz can pull magic out of his pocket and take over the reigns at Apple, that is.

I'm not sure if I believe this. I thought OpenGL has to pass through layers-upon-layers of APIs (just like sound) to do anything. All of that overhead can't possibly translate well to the average Joe. Plus, as we all know, Linux hardware compatibility is usually Plug 'n' Pray (i.e. plug it in, pray it works OOB).

Although Office for Android is just a hollow shell of its Windows equivalent, the thought of Ballmer signing off on its development (before throwing some chairs, of course) makes smile from ear-to-ear.

This is scary to me, because I recently ordered Dish Network for my family. When the tech was finished installing everything, I noticed a little black box connected to the wall (about the size of my wallet) with a CAT cable connected to it. No noise or anything, but there was a blinking green light (which I assume is "traffic"). Now couple something like that with shoddy Samsung TV apps and you have one helluva NSA gangbang waiting to happen.

Ubuntu. Been using it for years.
